How do I stop urine stains on lawn?

I read that if you add tea, tomato paste or ketchup to a dogs meal/water, it neutralizes the urine so that the grass will not die. Which product will work and how much is needed. Is this just BS? Any VETS out there?

    Besides repairing/replacing the grass, here are some preventative measures:

    Saturate the urinated spots with water. After the pet urinates, pour several cupfuls of water on the spot to dilute the urine.

    Feed a high quality dog food that does not exceed the pet’s protein requirement. High quality foods have more digestible protein sources that are more completely utilized by the pet and create less nitrogenous waste in the urine.

    Encouraging your dog to drink more, will help dilute the urine and decrease the risk of lawn burn. Small amounts of non-salted broth in the drinking water may help increase your dog’s water intake.

    Train your dog to urinate in a location that is less visible. This approach is very effective for some owners that do not want to add supplements to their dogs’ diet.

    Replant your yard with more urine-resistant grasses. The most resistant grasses tend to be perennial ryegrasses and fescues. The most sensitive tend to be Kentucky bluegrass and Bermuda.

    Feed your dog a supplement like Drs. Foster and Smith Lawn Guard, or apply a product to the lawn such as Dogonit Lawn Treatment. These products bind and neutralize the nitrogen in your pet’s urine.

    Reduce the stress on your lawn by not over- or under-fertilizing and by providing frequent watering.

    If neighbors’ dogs are causing the problem, you may advise your neighbors of the leash laws. Using a fence or motion-activated sprinkler may be helpful in keeping these dogs off of your lawn.

    No, dog urine will always be acidic to some extent. Try to rinse off where your dog had just peed if you can or there is some spray that is non-toxic that greens up patches like that. I saw it on tv.

    If you can the best thing is to just squirt the infected area down with your hose. Iv never heard of feeding the dog anything

    I read an article by a soil specialist who says that acid is not the problem, too much nitrogen is.

    The easiest way would be to quit using so much nitrogen based fertilizer on your lawn. Do not put anything in the dogs food or water.

    I do not have any spots on my lawn, but I do not use artificial fertilizer, either.

    This is how i thought my dog. When he would pee some where i didn’t want him to i would walk him to the spot, put his face close to it. Tell him "no" them hit him in the butt with the newspaper. (don’t do it to hard!!) Then the next day he did it again so i did the same thing i did the day before, and he NEVER DID IT AGAIN!!!

    There’s supplements available for your dog to take to help with that. Try Petco.

    You should be able to purchase a product at your local pet store. It is sprinkled on the pet’s food.
